The moon's gravity causes high and low tides, something known as the tidal force. As the tidal force shifts Earth's mass, it ...

Long ago, the Moon was much nearer Earth. Scientists believe a protoplanet collision created the Moon 4.5 billion years ago.

A recently observed object called 2025 PN7 was found orbiting near the Earth. The quasi-moon is expected to accompany our planet in a similar orbit for 60 years.

So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases ...

Astronomers have identified a tiny quasi-moon, 2025 PN7, orbiting near Earth for about 60 years. This 62-foot-wide near-Earth ...

The region where the gravitational influence of Earth is the dominant force, is called the Hill Sphere. This extends up to ...

At its nearest, 2025 PN7 comes 186,000 miles (299,337 kilometres) from Earth. Its average distance is about 238,855 miles ...

An uncrewed mission called Artemis 1 flew around the moon and back again in 2022. Four astronauts aim to do the same next ...

On Aug. 23, 1966, NASA's Lunar Orbiter 1 sent back the first photo of Earth from the moon. It showed a grainy crescent Earth ...

In March 1968, the Soviet Union had a partial success with Zond 4. With this launch, they were able to take the spacecraft ...
